The gc.com forums have now been replaced with... downloadable wallpaper!

11/11 3:30pm PST: We received our license to Invision Power Board and have started to install the application on a new dedicated machine. In the meantime, we have some new November desktop wallpaper. In Windows, once it loads right click on the image and choose "Set as desktop background" Enjoy!

I am discovering that a large percentage of mine need to be edited. Somehow text has disappeared, old photos are posted, etc etc.

yup yup yup --- I found a few of mine with crossed photos and disappeared backgrounds. Their new indexing they are using, links the photos to the poster/logger/owner/whatever instead of linking it to the specific TBug. I am sure they mean to put a gallery link in (how boring will that be to look at HUNDREDS of photos of my little pink bears?)

I also had to edit out some color and text formatting. I spent several hours doing bug page edits yesterday to make the pages look right.

One interesting feature is the lost bug option. Instead of putting your lost bug in the graveyard, you can now make it "unknown location". I like that. Hopefully the TBugs I put to being lost can eventually be resurected at the Pet Semetery --- I'll try it out later.

Has anyone tried the "recalulate milage" button?? What does it do?? I suspect it will reset the odometer to zero so I didn't touch it.

I have also noticed that some uploaded photos are not being shown on the new style pages unless you go to "view this log" and then the photo is shown.
I bet some bug owners will never know they have photos sitting on their bug pages because nobody ever goes to individual "view this log" links.

On the plus side of this ..... you can now "edit" your drop log and actually say something about the Tbug -- except you have to do it within 20 minutes of dropping or you get an edit note in the log.

I "Borrowed" someones HTML, and made it my own. It was this cool drag-down bar that listed my caches (I replaced his with mine) and you could jump fom one of my cache pages to the other. Since the "remodel" it has been removed. Now it just lists my other caches on my pages. Bummer. Anyone know how or why this happened? I doubt I'll find this thing again....... _________________"You cannot reason a person out of a position they did not reason themselves into"

gc.com was giving these kinds of server overload errors even in the wee hours last night. Even when it worked, it was excruciatingly slow. Must be somebody elses bot, because I was just trying to read some logs. Either that, or there was a big event in China and a lotta people were trying to log their finds.

IMHO, every time Jeremy moves something to .NET, the server gets more sluggish than before.

Conspiracy theorists fiigure that selling more servers and therefore more copies of Windows Server is the whole point of .NET.

Well I'm not going to blame .NET for this. I'm an admin on two sites both running .NET and they run like a charm. They are both 10 times faster then the old boards we were running. Of course the down side was having to get everyone to start to understand HTML.

I'm more to believe that there are some people trying to set up code at gc.com that are not as high speed on .NET as they think that they are.

My site admin is a beta tester for .NET and one of our web sites is specifically designated as a beta test site for new modules and such.

More likely its just J screwing with switches he doesn't quite understand._________________Airborne All the Way!
